Shooting at Apalachee High School

There’s been another shooting, this time at Apalachee High School in Georgia.

I think it’s about time we either abolish or drastically reform public education. The current system is broken and unnecessary when everyone has a device with all the knowledge of the world at their fingertips. The public school system is simply obsolete and dangerous, both physically and mentally.

There’s also a war against cell phones that appears to have come about after the Uvalde school shooting in south Texas, where children calling 911 for help were left abandoned by cowardly law enforcement officials. Other schools don’t want the same embarrassment and shame upon them. It "makes them look bad".

Cell phones are a competitor to education systems when you already have more knowledge and learning tools in your pocket than a school education could ever dream of providing. Cell phones "make them look bad".

That’s what it’s about for the public school system in America: appearances.

In a sane world, safety for school children would be the paramount concern, but that's too much to ask from our public school system.
